Extendable frame
An extendable frame having a first frame half having a first frame first side, a first frame second side, a first frame bridge, and a first gap. Also included is a second frame half having a second frame first side, a second frame second side, a second frame bridge, and a second gap. A first handle is affixed to the first frame bridge while a second handle is affixed to the second frame bridge. A first track system extends from the first frame half toward the second frame half while a second tracking system extends from the second frame half toward the first frame half. A pinion track system is disposed between the first track system and the second track system. The first and second frame halves are movable relative to each other via the first track system, the second track system and the pinion track system.

Mounted flip frame
The invention is a mounted flip frame. The frame includes a mount assembly, slotted, retractable pivot arms, pivot pin(s), and a frame assembly with two sides for display. The pivot arms seat in the mount assembly and are retractable, biasing the pivot arms towards the wall. The pivot pin is connected to the frame assembly through slots in the pivot arms whereby the frame assembly rotates freely in the pivot arm slots when the pivot arms are extended. The frame assembly is rotated by swiping the frame assembly from either side of the mount opposite the pivot arms, using a single finger. The inertia of the swipe turns the frame beyond its perpendicular orientation causing the pivot arms' retraction mechanism to quickly bring the frame back to a flat, level position above the mount assembly showing the other side of the display item.

Slide N' stretch stretcher bar with connecting segments
Disclosed is a fine art stretcher bar framing and canvas fastening system. The system consists of variable length side bars, fixed ninety degree corners, internal connecting segments, and an adjustable cross brace for quick and easy assembling, dismantling, storing, and transporting. The side bars, corners, and connecting segments features a mechanism utilizing a male plug and female socket to connect side bars, corners, and connecting segments in an array of stretcher bar configurations. The segments are secured using interlocking pins after side bars or corners female sockets engaged with connecting segment plugs. The cross brace segments features an adjustable mechanism conforming to the stretcher bar configuration. The side bars, corners, connecting, and cross brace segments can be dismantled by removing interlocking mechanism on the segments. The back side of the stretcher bar system features a wooden surface to mount or dismount canvases using staples or other fasteners.

Modular frame system
A modular framing assembly is provided. Each individual module comprises one or more retractable slats that may be extendable to connect with another individual module. The individual modules may be arranged in a plurality of angles and configurations to create frames of varying sizes, shapes and that are capable of bending around corners, where two wall meet.

System for retaining a substrate within a frame
A frame assembly includes a frame base and a rear panel including a plurality of side walls that are configured to be received within a plurality of side walls of the frame base. Along an external surface of each side wall of the rear panel there is at least one locking tab that is configured for reception within one corresponding locking opening of the frame base when the rear panel is inserted into the frame base so as couple the rear panel to the frame base in a snap-fitting manner and permit a canvas substrate to be captured therebetween for holding the canvas substrate across a front face of the frame base.
